I nod. “That will be your decision when we return.”

“I think whatever you guys choose, or whatever you choose Danielle, will be the right move for the both of you. Possibly for the better.”

I look at Danielle and smile.

“Alice looks like she is running around without a head, I should go see if I can help her. Talk to you guys again soon.” Shane says walking pass us.

I feel Danielle’s hands pull me closer towards her. “I agree with what Shane said.”

“I do too.” I smile.

“Finally Porter.”

My head turns to see Alice standing on the same chair again looking towards the door at Bette and Rachel.

“Let’s go to the front.” I nod and Danielle follows behind me.

“We now have everyone!” Alice says with excitement.

I make my way towards Bette and our eyes catch each other as the kids hang to her hips.

“Hey!” I say stepping closer. “Hey Rachel!”

“Hi Tina!” Rachel says with a smile.

“And hello you two.” Bette says looking at me then Danielle.

Danielle nods towards me.

“Cole was starting to become inpatient with you.” I say with a chuckle.

“Is this true little man?” Bette asks looking down at him as he nods.

I laugh along with Bette.

“Told you.” I say.

“Mama B I just wanna ride the plane!”

“I know you like the plane, baby.” She smiles.

“He always has.” I say. “What took you so long?”

“Damn traffic and a woman that takes forever to get ready.”

I watch as Rachel playfully hits her on the shoulder.

“More like her, Tina.” Rachel says.

“Don’t worry, I believe you.” I say smiling.

I notice Bette wink at me.

I roll my eyes and laugh to myself.

“Now that the slowest person in the room is here, not going to say names cough-cough “Porter.” Peggy’s limos will be arriving very soon to load your things along with your bodies!” Alice shouts to us from her chair.

“When are we leaving mommies?” Cole asks looking at Bette and me.

“Not long now!” Bette says with a smile.

“Window seat! Window seat!” Cole shouts with happiness as I strap him into his seat.

I look behind me at Tina.
